ghost of miles Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) This recent tribute to pianist Mel Powell, who enjoyed a brilliant jazz career in the 1940s before working primarily in an academic classical realm for the rest of his life, is now up for online listening: Jazz Mission: Mel Powell in the 1940s ... Powell also made several fine jazz albums for the Vanguard label in the mid-1950s that may be the subject of a future program. The 1940s offered so much musical ground to cover that I decided to stick to that particular decade for this episode.

ghost of miles Posted November 11 Author Report Share Posted November 11 Up for Veterans Day (Powell served as a member of Glenn Miller's World War II military band, which is touched upon in the program) and because we re-aired it last week: Jazz Mission: Mel Powell in the 1940s ...and eagerly anticipating the eventual Mosaic set of 1950s Vanguard pianists, which will include a good deal of Powell material.
